A timeless story of ability, patience, and creativity runs through every thread. For centuries, Indian design has combined traditional skill with modern beauty in hand-embroidered clothes.
At Fabanza, these detailed patterns aren’t just clothes; they’re becoming family treasures.
✪ Zardosi: The Royal Weave of Metal
Zardozi is one of India’s most expensive needlework styles. This term has its roots in the Persian terms zar (meaning “gold”) and dozi (meaning “work”). It takes a lot of skill to use gold and silver threads to make flower and paisley patterns that look beautiful when lit up.
Where It Shines:
- Great for wedding and party clothes
- most often worn with satin, silk, or georgette
- Gives Indian wedding outfits a rich look
Fabanza’s top pick: Our Bridal Salwar Suits and Lehenga Collections have beautiful zardozi work.
Sequins: A Sparkle That Says Happy Celebration
Adding a few sparkles to any indian outfit can make it stand out. Small discs are hand-stitched into designs that catch and reflect light, giving any outfit movement and glitz.
Why We Love It:
- Perfect for parties and events in the evening
- It looks great on silk, chiffon, and net materials.
- It has the right amount of high-style drama and slight shine.
Tips for Style: For easy beauty, wear a shirt with sequins with simple jewellery.
Zari: The Golden Threads of History
Indian royalty used to weave Zari with real gold and silver threads, so the style has a long history. Contemporary versions of the method use silver threads to create elaborate borders, patterns, and bootis that are both elegant and traditional.
Ideal for:
- Holidays and cultural events
- Making Banarasi, silk, and organza materials look better
- Making classic looks that are based on tradition
Check out our Festive Collection 2025, which has clothes with zari accents as an ode to India’s golden art.
🧵 Threadwork: Simplicity Woven with Skill
Sometimes, the simplest features are the most beautiful. Resham work, which is another name for thread embroidery, uses only coloured silk or cotton threads to make intricate patterns that show off the skill of the artist.
What Makes It Classic:
- Elegant, light, and airy enough to wear every day
- Great for viscose, cotton, and muslin fabrics
- Suitable for both informal and semi-formal events
